The present invention relates to a novel, highly practical method for producing optically active compounds such as optically active alcohol and optically active amine useful for various utilities such as synthetic intermediates of drugs, liquid crystal materials, and optical resolution agents, comprising hydrogen transfer-type asymmetric reduction in the presence of a transition metal catalyst and an optically active nitrogen-containing compound or a transition metal catalyst with an optically active nitrogen-containing compound as the asymmetric ligand, and a hydrogen-donating organic or inorganic compound.
In accordance with the present invention, characteristically, an optically active secondary alcohol can be recovered through the hydrogen transfer-type oxidation from racemic secondary alcohol or meso-type diol.
本发明涉及一种生产光学活性化合物(如光学活性醇和光学活性胺)的新型、高度实用的方法,该方法可用于药物合成中间体、液晶材料和光学分辨剂等多种用途,包括在过渡金属催化剂和光学活性含氮化合物或过渡金属催化剂与光学活性含氮化合物作为不对称配体以及供氢有机或无机化合物存在下进行氢转移型不对称还原。
根据本发明,外消旋仲醇或中型二元醇通过氢转移型氧化可回收光学活性仲醇。
